In 2017 i created a playlist with the idea of adding every song i like to it through the years. Until now i have added 1095 songs to my playlist. It’s also important to note that my main source of music is spotify. I’ve always found that my music taste is kind of variable with a lot of different genre’s but i do wonder if there are similarities or patterns to be found in all the music to be able to pinpoint why i like certain music.
First i would like to answer some questions about the playlist in general: Is there a certain key across all songs that i like particularly? What is the most frequent modality? Is the majority of the songs in a certain bpm range? How similar is the valence across the playlist? How high is the energy in the playlist
I suspect key, bpm and modality to be evenly distributed due to all the different genres and valence and energy to be all over the place.
I would like to expand on researching per year, per season and maybe even per month as i expect to see more interesting things happening in smaller time periods. Furthermore i’d like to involve genres as that seems like one of the most important things in music taste. Sadly there is no way to do this per track so i might try to take the genres from the albums the songs are coming from.
